Senate Republican Leader John Thune erupted in anger on the Senate floor, blasting Democrats as the 30-day shutdown threatens SNAP benefits for millions of Americans.

Washington

Senate Republican leader John Thune displayed visible frustration with Democrats during a recent Senate session as the government shutdown extended into its 29th day. The shutdown has led to significant consequences, including the expiration of SNAP benefits for millions and a reported $7 billion loss in economic output, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Lawmakers from both parties have acknowledged increasing pressure to resolve the impasse, with negotiations reportedly intensifying. The situation is critical for low-income Americans and federal workers, and if the shutdown continues, it could become the longest in U.S. history.
